"The breakfast restaurant is gorgeous. The private pool in the pool room was large enough for a proper swim. However, I actually preferred the standard rooms, as they were cleaner and bug-free. The pool rooms felt a bit *too* natural for my liking – with an open-air courtyard bathroom, I was genuinely worried about snakes coming in if I needed to use it late at night. Overall, it was very good. Compared to other accommodations for island hopping in Phuket, it offers excellent value for money, though the sea itself here is quite unremarkable. They also provide a daily resort credit of 1000 THB per room per night, and it was really pleasant to still have almost 200 THB left over daily to spend on drinks and food."
